Notes

  • For a spicier kick, adjust the amount of chipotle in adobo to taste.
  • Use freshly baked biscuits for the best texture, or high-quality frozen biscuits if short on time.
  • Ensure chicken tenders are cooked thoroughly to an internal temperature of 165°F for food safety.
  • The chipotle honey butter can be prepared ahead and reheated gently before assembling.
  • To make this recipe gluten-free, use gluten-free biscuits and breaded chicken alternatives.
